1st roof top Solar plant opens

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the first rooftop Solar Power Plant (180 KW) for Khunti district court in Jharkhand. Khunti happens
to be highly-affected district with Naxal activities. Referring to the 180 KW Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic system, Modi said if Gujarat or Rajasthan think of solar energy people will say that it is understandable as they have no coal but when Jharkhand, which is a rich in coal, does so, it is noticed and the world gets a message from it. Judges of district courts had told him that lack of power in court premises hampers the hearing and that was a reason behind the delivery
of justice. Modi said he was shocked to realise that districts courts
are deprived of basic amenities like power even after 60 years.
“Judges found a solution and this court will now run with solar
energy. Today it has become the first district court in the country to
run with solar energy. “This is the best tribute to Gandhiji. Bapu
fought his entire life to get justice for the poor. On his birth
anniversary, a court is being connected with solar energy,” Modi said.
